[...] still very interesting) prose, it’s really a funny novel. And, hey, at least it isn’t the Wake. I’ll take this opportunity to recommend Ulysses Annotated and Gilbert’s study in case [...]

I might have to read this book now, just because the way phrase it, it seems like random fun. I know I like it when I see it in anime and other forms of entertainment, but I haven’t seen that sort of thing in literature before.

I <3 your pictures. Very E.T gone bad. Also I totally got hooked on your wikipedia links and as such ended up reading about all this other shizz. Your description of this book makes me totally not want to attempt reading it. Thanks for saving me some time !

I lol’d when I read Finnegan’s Wake in the first lines of your post. And I immediately skimmed towards the end – you reiterated almost the exact same things my uni teacher told the class about that book. We were talking about Joyce (before reading Dubliners), and my teacher ranted “Joyce is a brilliant author, but he really should not have wasted that decade on writing that book. That book is a real misery to read until the end, and it’s just a waste of time. “Finnegan’s Wake”, despite making extensive use of this “stream of consciousness” technique, is just too difficult, confusing and outright demotivating to read anything else for the next few weeks after you finished. “Ulysses” was pretty similar… I really wonder why I even had to read those books.” I thought he was exaggerating, but after looking it up on the internet… I’ll NEVER want read it.

I still commend you for finishing it, you’re pretty courageous (and suicidal) ^^
